I think drowning is a metaphor for all the things a father cautions his son about... if the steps too deep, he will be enslaved by the water, but at the same time the father becomes hypocrite about it when he takes out the chain to enslave his son and prevent him from flying away (metaphor for being an overprotective father)

i love it!!! this is how most parents are...they dont let you go out into the world and see it with your own eyes,,,instead they tell you what you can and cant do and you try your hardest to prove them wrong((: they hate letting go((:
